Hello,
I am wondering if I can do the following project or not, in your opinion.

Project summarized:
Time needed to submit: 10 weeks
Content:
-A five page website for selling ten products.
-Home page: simple stuff
-purchasing page: showing the ten products with their prices (obtained from a data base)
-a discount page: with three of the products offered for discount as a package
-user input page such as name and address
-summary of order page
once an order has been made, it is removed from availability from purchasing page

My and PHP:
No experience at all. there are no exams, just submitting this site and a report.

Do you guys think I can do it? Is it easy to code in your opinions?

That's a piece of cake, IF you have experience doing it.

If not, you're up a creek. You'll have to do your own homework and that includes learning the programming language needed to do the back-end of the shopping cart.

Do we think you can do it? Not only NO, but H&LL NO. After all, you have your own doubts or you wouldn't have asked. If you doubt yourself without ever trying, you'll never get there.

Scaling, security, privacy, state mechanism, styling, privileges, how much client side, administration, deployment....

How much do you know about the above?

If it's not a lot, ten weeks is iffy, if none of the above matter, then in my opinion doing it, is a near total waste of time.

The best way to make a start on learning the background for a public but secure website, is to write the home page with a log on function, and two pages, "Hello username" will do that you must be logged on to see, but that you don't have to log on again in that session to see.

Unitil you can do that, you should not be allowed to do the project.

Security, then functionality, do it the other way round you end up with broken functionality and none to pathetic security.
